The Ripple Effect #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Ripple Effect of Inner Peace: Mental Health and Relationships "And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace." - James 3:18 KJV Imagine standing beside a still pond. When you drop a single pebble into its waters, the ripples spread outward in perfect circles, touching every shore. Our mental and emotional state works in much the same way – it creates ripples that affect every relationship in our lives, from our closest family members to casual acquaintances. Consider how the Apostle Paul, even while imprisoned, could write "I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" (Philippians 4:11 KJV). This wasn't mere positive thinking; it was a deep-rooted peace that transcended his circumstances. His letters from prison overflowed with joy and encouragement, demonstrating how inner peace can influence others even in the most challenging situations. When we're struggling with anxiety, depression, or emotional turmoil, we often withdraw or react defensively in our relationships. Yet scripture teaches us that "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger" (Proverbs 15:1 KJV). Our mental state directly influences whether we respond with that "soft answer" or react with "grievous words." The good news is that Christ offers us a peace that "passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7 KJV). This isn't a superficial tranquility that depends on perfect circumstances, but a deep-rooted peace that comes from knowing we are held secure in God's hands. Action Points: 1. Conduct a "Peace Audit" - Take 15 minutes to reflect on your relationships. Notice how your emotional state affects your interactions with family, friends, and colleagues. Write down patterns you observe and pray specifically about areas where your mental health might be creating negative ripples. 2. Create a "Peace Practice" - Establish a daily routine that nurtures your mental health through prayer, meditation on Scripture, and quiet reflection. Start with just 10 minutes each morning, gradually increasing the time as you experience the benefits. 3. Practice "Peace Breaks" - When you feel emotional tension rising in a relationship, take a brief timeout to pray, breathe deeply, and remind yourself of God's presence before responding. Make this your standard practice in challenging interactions. Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You acknowledging that true peace can only come from You. We confess the times our internal struggles have created waves of discord in our relationships. Thank You for Your promise of peace that surpasses understanding. Help us to be diligent in tending to our mental health, not just for our own well-being, but for the sake of those You've placed in our lives. Guide us in becoming vessels of Your peace, allowing Your calm presence to flow through us to others. Give us wisdom to know when to seek help and courage to take steps toward healing. May our lives create ripples of Your peace that touch every shore they reach. In Jesus' name, Amen. Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

The First Giant to Slay #RTTBROS #Nightlight The First Giant to Slay: Comfort "And David said unto Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine." - 1 Samuel 17:32 KJV In the valley of Elah, two contrasting figures stood before a mighty challenge. King Saul, towering above his people, clad in the finest armor Israel could offer, remained in the safety of his tent. Meanwhile, young David, armed with nothing but faith and five smooth stones, stepped forward to face Goliath. The difference wasn't in their equipment or experience—it was in their willingness to step out of comfort for God's glory. Saul possessed every worldly advantage: stature, experience, and royal armor. Scripture tells us he stood "higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward" (1 Samuel 9:2 KJV). Yet, when Goliath defied the armies of the living God, Saul chose comfort over conviction. The giant of comfort had already defeated him before any battle could begin. David, however, demonstrates a heart wholly devoted to God's glory. When offered Saul's armor, he declared, "I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them" (1 Samuel 17:39 KJV). He chose discomfort, vulnerability, and potential ridicule because he understood that God's honor was worth more than his comfort. Action Points: 1. Identify your "comfort armor" - What securities or comforts are holding you back from stepping out in faith? Write them down and pray over each one, asking God to help you trust Him more than your comfortable circumstances. 2. Take one uncomfortable step today - Choose one area where God is calling you to step out of your comfort zone. It might be sharing your faith with a colleague, serving in a new ministry, or confronting a personal sin. 3. Document God's faithfulness - Keep a journal of times when choosing discomfort for God's glory led to spiritual growth or ministry impact. Let these testimonies build your faith for future challenges. Prayer: Heavenly Father, like David, give us hearts that value Your glory above our comfort. Forgive us for the times we've chosen to stay in our comfortable spaces rather than step out in faith. Help us identify and slay the giant of comfort in our lives. Give us courage to stand against the Goliaths of our day, not in our own strength, but in complete dependence on You. Let our lives bring glory to Your name, no matter the cost to our comfort. In Jesus' name, Amen. Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

In today's episode of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast, I sit down with psychologist, professional speaker, and author Dr. Matt Zakreski to explore the concept of neurodiversity and how to create a more supportive world for neurodivergent individuals. Drawing from both personal and professional experiences, Dr. Matt shares his journey as someone who is gifted and ADHD, and how that shaped his understanding and advocacy for neurodivergent folks. We discuss what neurodiversity truly means, highlight differences between neurotypical and neurodivergent brains, and break down why it's crucial to avoid framing neurodivergent individuals as “failed neurotypicals.” Dr. Matt provides practical strategies for understanding executive functioning challenges, improving communication, and fostering more inclusive environments both in schools and in everyday life. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, raising a neurodivergent child, or simply looking to become a better ally, this episode is packed with insights and guidance to help you understand, accept, and celebrate neurological differences.

To lead your small group toward spiritual growth requires preparation for the leader. Kelly Arabie joins Kay Daigle in the second podcast in this series of three so small group leaders can prepare well to be ready for the group meeting.

But if our goal is spiritual growth for the group members, it requires more than showing up and reading questions from the lesson. This kind of leadership requires deliberate preparation in several areas for the leader. You can connect to the video version if you prefer, and don't miss the helpful resources found below.
